Hangar Flying a Skyview

[DonFromTX]

I was getting familiar with my Skyview Touch today, and got into a brain lock. Say I am flying along and see an airport 20 miles away or so, non towered type. I cannot figure out how to find the CTAF for it, or other airport information. If I touch the airport, nothing of value seems to pop up. What am I doing wrong?

Don't remember the exact sequence setting here in my living room but, basically, select the airport and use the INFO button or the INFO item on the map display if you have it there.

If touching the airport doesn't select it (it should bring up a small popup window that gives you basic information though, while highlighting the airport at the same time) you can also just get the map pointer near it (by either touching the map or using the joystick) and then pressing the NRST button. Then that airport should be the first one on the list.

Thanks, that seems more logical. I did not know the NRST would display from what you touch, I supposed it always gave nearest to your actual position.
